# Pay with Google Pay integration (/limited-release/commerce-platform/accept-payments/apm/google-pay)



Google Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service provided by Alphabet Inc.

Buyers can use Google Pay on PayPal to make payments on the web using a web browser.

Sellers can use PayPal with Google Pay to sell physical goods, such as clothes and electronics, and intangible professional services, such as concerts or gym memberships.

### Supported countries and currencies [#supported-countries-and-currencies]

Google Pay supports payments in 36 countries and 22 currencies:

* **Countries:** Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United States, United Kingdom
* **Currencies:** `AUD`, `BRL`, `CAD`, `CHF`, `CZK`, `DKK`, `EUR`, `GBP`, `HKD`, `HUF`, `ILS`, `JPY`, `MXN`, `NOK`, `NZD`, `PHP`, `PLN`, `SEK`, `SGD`, `THB`, `TWD`, `USD`

> **Info:** **Note:** TPAN is not supported by local processors (NTTD) and acquirers in Japan for Visa, Mastercard, JCB, or Diners Club cards.

> **Info:** **Note:** If you want to integrate additional methods of accepting payment beyond Google Pay, visit our [Expanded Checkout guide](/platforms/checkout/advanced/integrate) for additional integration choices.

## How it works [#how-it-works]

1. The Google Pay button shows up on your website when a customer uses a web browser.
2. The payer selects the Google Pay button on your website.
3. Your website shows the payer a payment sheet.
4. The payer can choose a different shipping address and payment method.
5. The payer authorizes the payment.

## Know before you code [#know-before-you-code]

Get up and running in GitHub Codespaces

GitHub Codespaces are cloud-based development environments where you can code and test your PayPal integrations. [Learn more](/sandbox-testing/overview)

[Open in Codespaces](https://codespaces.new/paypal-examples/googlepay)

## 1. Set up your sandbox account to accept Google Pay [#1-set-up-your-sandbox-account-to-accept-google-pay]

Before you can accept Google Pay on your website, verify that your sandbox business account supports Google Pay.

Partners can use the PayPal Developer Dashboard to set up their sandbox accounts to accept Google Pay. The integration for partner accounts includes creating a sandbox business account through sandbox.paypal.com. If the Google Pay status for the account shows as disabled, complete the sandbox onboarding steps to enable Google Pay.

1. Log into the [PayPal Developer Dashboard](/dashboard/applications/sandbox) and go to your sandbox account.
2. Go to **Apps & Credentials**.
3. Make sure you are in the PayPal sandbox environment by selecting **Sandbox** at the top.
4. Select or create an app.
5. Scroll down to **Mobile and digital payments** and check if Google Pay is enabled. If Google Pay isn't enabled, select the **Google Pay** checkbox.

If you created a sandbox business account through [sandbox.paypal.com](https://sandbox.paypal.com/), and the Google Pay status for the account shows as disabled, [complete the sandbox onboarding steps](https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/bizsignup/add-product?product=payment_methods\&country.x=US\&locale.x=en_US\&capabilities=GOOGLE_PAY) to enable Google Pay.

> **Info:** **Note:** When your integration is ready to go live, read the Go live section for details about the additional steps needed for Google Pay onboarding.

## 2. Getting started in your testing environment [#2-getting-started-in-your-testing-environment]

Before you develop your Google Pay on the Web integration, you need to complete [Get started](/api/rest/) to set up your PayPal account, client ID, and sandbox emails for testing.

## 3. Integrate Google Pay checkout [#3-integrate-google-pay-checkout]

Follow this integration process to add Google Pay as a checkout option, customize the payment experience, and process payments.

### Call the Orders API [#call-the-orders-api]

To accept Google Pay directly on your website, create API endpoints on your server that communicate with the [PayPal Orders V2 API](/api/orders/v2). These endpoints can create an order, authorize payment, and capture payment for an order.

### Server-side example (Node.js) [#server-side-example-nodejs]

This code demonstrates using the [PayPal Orders V2 API](/api/orders/v2) to add routes to an Express server for creating orders and capturing payments.

Find the complete sample code in the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/paypal-examples/googlepay).

#### server.js

```text lineNumbers
import * as PayPal from "./paypal-api.js";
/* Create Order route Handler */
app.post("/api/orders", async (req, res) => {
  const order = await PayPal.createOrder();
  res.json(order);
});
/* Capture Order route Handler */
app.post("/api/orders/:orderID/capture", async (req, res) => {
  const {
    orderID
  } = req.params;
  const captureData = await PayPal.capturePayment(orderID);
  res.json(captureData);
});
```

#### paypal-api.js

```text lineNumbers
// create an order
export async function createOrder() {
  const purchaseAmount = "100.00";
  const accessToken = await generateAccessToken();
  const url = `${base}/v2/checkout/orders`;
  const response = await fetch(url, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      intent: "CAPTURE",
      purchase_units: [
        {
          amount: {
            currency_code: "USD",
            value: purchaseAmount
          },
        },
      ],
    }),
  });
  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
}

// capture payment for an order
export async function capturePayment(orderId) {
  const accessToken = await generateAccessToken();
  const url = `${base}/v2/checkout/orders/${orderId}/capture`;
  const response = await fetch(url, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
    },
  });
  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
}
```

## 4. Set up your Google Pay button [#4-set-up-your-google-pay-button]

You need to integrate with the Google Pay JavaScript SDK and PayPal JavaScript SDK to add Google Pay to your site.

### Integrate PayPal JavaScript SDK [#integrate-paypal-javascript-sdk]

Use this script to integrate with the PayPal JavaScript SDK:

```text lineNumbers
<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID¤cy=USD&buyer-country=US&merchant-id=SUB_MERCHANT_ID&components=googlepay"></script>
```

Include `googlepay` in the `components` list.

### Integrate Google JavaScript SDK [#integrate-google-javascript-sdk]

Use this script to integrate with the Google Pay JavaScript SDK:

```text lineNumbers
<script async src="https://pay.google.com/gp/p/js/pay.js" onload="onGooglePayLoaded()"></script>
```

PayPal's Google Pay component interacts with your JavaScript code in 2 areas:

1. Checking merchant eligibility and providing [`PaymentDataRequest`](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/reference/request-objects#PaymentDataRequest) parameters for Google Pay: `paypal.Googlepay().config()`.
2. Handling the `onPaymentAuthorized()` callback: `paypal.Googlepay().confirmOrder()`.

Check for device and merchant eligibility before setting up the GooglePay Button.

The PayPal JavaScript SDK API `paypal.Googlepay().config()` response object provides the `allowedPaymentMethods` parameter, which is part of the" "} Google API's [`isReadyToPayRequest`](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/reference/request-objects#IsReadyToPayRequest) object.

Check whether the Google Pay API supports a device, browser, and payment method:

* Add `allowedPaymentMethods` to the `isReadyToPayRequest`.
* Call the `isReadyToPay()` method to check compatibility and render the Google Pay Button.

```text lineNumbers
/**
  * Initialize Google PaymentsClient after Google-hosted JavaScript has loaded
  *
  * Display a Google Pay payment button after confirmation of the viewer's
  * ability to pay.
  */
function onGooglePayLoaded() {
  const paymentsClient = getGooglePaymentsClient();
  paymentsClient.isReadyToPay(isReadyToPayRequest).then(function(response) {
    if (response.result) {
      addGooglePayButton();
    }
  }).catch(function(err) {
      console.error(err);
  });
}
/**
  * Add a Google Pay purchase button
  */
function addGooglePayButton() {
  const paymentsClient = getGooglePaymentsClient();
  const button = paymentsClient.createButton({
      onClick: onGooglePaymentButtonClicked /* To be defined later */,
      allowedPaymentMethods: [baseCardPaymentMethod]
  });
  document.getElementById('container').appendChild(button);
}
```

> **Info:** **Note:** For more information refer to steps 6 and 7 in [Google's developer documentation](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/tutorial#isreadytopay).

## 5. Create PaymentDataRequest [#5-create-paymentdatarequest]

The `PaymentDataRequest` object manages the Google Pay payment process on the web. Create a new `PaymentDataRequest` each time a payer explicitly requests a payment, such as inside the `onclick` handler for the Google Pay Button.

For each checkout session, create a `PaymentDataRequest` object, which includes information about payment processing capabilities, the payment amount, and shipping information.

The response object of the PayPal JavaScript SDK API `paypal.Googlepay().config()` provides the following parameters in the `PaymentDataRequest` object:

* `allowedPaymentMethods`
* `merchantInfo`

> **Info:** **Note:** For integrations in Japan, you'll need to override the `allowedAuthMethods` as `allowedPaymentMethods[0].parameters.allowedAuthMethods = ['PAN_ONLY']`.

```text lineNumbers
/* Note: the `googlePayConfig` object in this request is the response from `paypal.Googlepay().config()` */
asyncfunctiongetGooglePaymentDataRequest(){
const googlePayConfig =await paypal.Googlepay().config();
const paymentDataRequest =Object.assign({}, baseRequest);
      paymentDataRequest.allowedPaymentMethods= googlePayConfig.allowedPaymentMethods;
// Uncomment for Japan integrations only
// paymentDataRequest.allowedPaymentMethods[0].parameters.allowedAuthMethods = ['PAN_ONLY'];
      paymentDataRequest.transactionInfo=getGoogleTransactionInfo();
      paymentDataRequest.merchantInfo= googlePayConfig.merchantInfo;
      paymentDataRequest.callbackIntents=["PAYMENT_AUTHORIZATION"];
return paymentDataRequest;
}
functiongetGoogleTransactionInfo(){
return{
currencyCode:'USD',
totalPriceStatus:'FINAL',
totalPrice:'100.00'// Your amount
}
}
```

For more details about the response parameters, see the &#x2A;*`ConfigResponse`** section.

For more details about how Google Pay handles `paymentDataRequest`, refer to steps 8, 9, and 10 in [Google's developer documentation](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/tutorial#paymentdatarequest).

> **Info:** **Note:** See the [Google Pay PaymentDataRequest Object API reference](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/reference/request-objects#PaymentDataRequest) for the complete list of properties available for the `PaymentDataRequest` object.

### Register click handler [#register-click-handler]

Register a click event handler for the Google Pay purchase button. Call `loadPaymentData()` in the event handler when the user interacts with the purchase button and pass the `PaymentDataRequest` object.

```text lineNumbers
/**
   * Show Google Pay payment sheet when Google Pay payment button is clicked
   */
asyncfunctiononGooglePaymentButtonClicked(){
const paymentDataRequest =awaitgetGooglePaymentDataRequest();
const paymentsClient =getGooglePaymentsClient();
    paymentsClient.loadPaymentData(paymentDataRequest);
}
```

Add the click handler `onGooglePaymentButtonClicked` to the Button defined in Set up your Google Pay button.

For more details about `paymentDataRequest` refer to step 9 in [Google's developer documentation](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/tutorial#paymentdatarequest).

### onPaymentAuthorized() callback [#onpaymentauthorized-callback]

Google calls the `onPaymentAuthorized()` callback with a [`PaymentData`](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/reference/response-objects#PaymentData) object when a customer consents to your site collecting their payment information and optional contact details.

Register the `onPaymentAuthorized()` callback as part of the `PaymentClient` initialization as shown in Google Pay's [Client Reference page](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/reference/client#PaymentsClient).

Create an order by using the [PayPal Orders V2 API](/api/orders/v2). Use `paypal.Googlepay().confirmOrder()` to send the `orderID`, the Google Pay Payment Data, and optional contact details, and confirm the order.

Confirm the order using the [`paypal.Googlepay().confirmOrder()`](/platforms/checkout/apm/google-pay/) method in the API SDK Reference.

If the order confirmation status is `APPROVED`, capture the order using the [Capture payment for order endpoint](/api/orders/v2/orders-capture) of the PayPal Orders V2 API.

For more details, see step 11 of [Google's developer documentation](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/tutorial#authorize-payments).

> **Info:** **Note:** You can see an [example of an Authorize Payments call](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/tutorial#authorize-payments_1) in the **Put it all together** section of Google's developer documentation.

```text lineNumbers
asyncfunctionprocessPayment(paymentData){
returnnewPromise(functionasync(resolve, reject){
try{
// Create the order on your server
const{id}=awaitfetch(`/orders`,{
method:"POST",
body:
// You can use the "body" parameter to pass optional, additional order information, such as:
// amount, and amount breakdown elements like tax, shipping, and handling
// item data, such as sku, name, unit_amount, and quantity
// shipping information, like name, address, and address type
});
const confirmOrderResponse =await paypal.Googlepay().confirmOrder({
orderId: id,
paymentMethodData: paymentData.paymentMethodData
});
/** Capture the Order on your Server  */
if(confirmOrderResponse.status==="APPROVED"){
const response =awaitfetch(`/capture/${id}`,{
method:'POST',
}).then(res=> res.json());
if(response.capture.status==="COMPLETED")
resolve({transactionState:'SUCCESS'});
else
resolve({
transactionState:'ERROR',
error:{
intent:'PAYMENT_AUTHORIZATION',
message:'TRANSACTION FAILED',
}
})
}else{
resolve({
transactionState:'ERROR',
error:{
intent:'PAYMENT_AUTHORIZATION',
message:'TRANSACTION FAILED',
}
})
}
}catch(err){
resolve({
transactionState:'ERROR',
error:{
intent:'PAYMENT_AUTHORIZATION',
message: err.message,
}
})
}
});
}
```

### Customize payment experience [#customize-payment-experience]

Use the [Google Pay JavaScript SDK](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/reference/client) to customize the payer experience. The following table shows the 2 most popular Google Pay customizations:

| Customization                                                                                                  | Details                                                                                                                |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

## Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) [#strong-customer-authentication-sca]

When the `ConfirmOrder` [status](/api/orders/v2#definition-order_status) is `PAYER_ACTION_REQUIRED`, the order requires additional authentication from the payer, such as 3D Secure.

The PayPal JavaScript SDK Client provides an API to handle 3DS Secure authentication. Pass the `orderId` to `initiatePayerAction`.

> **Note:** **Note:** Refer to [`initiatePayerAction`](/platforms/checkout/apm/google-pay/) for more details.

When the payer completes authentication, confirm that the `liability_shift` status has shifted:

* Make a call to the [Show order details endpoint](/api/orders/v2/orders-get) of the Orders v2 API, using the `id` of the order.
* Check the `liability_shift` status in the [`authentication_response`](/api/orders/v2#definition-authentication_response).

```text lineNumbers
...
const { status } = await paypal.Googlepay().confirmOrder({
  orderId: id,
  paymentMethodData: paymentData.paymentMethodData,
});
if (status === "PAYER_ACTION_REQUIRED") {
  console.log("==== Confirm Payment Completed Payer Action Required =====");
  paypal
    .Googlepay()
    .initiatePayerAction({ orderId: id })
    .then(async () => {
      console.log("===== Payer Action Completed =====");
      /** GET Order */
      const orderResponse = await fetch(`/orders/${id}`, {
        method: "GET",
      }).then((res) => res.json());
      console.log("===== 3DS Contingency Result Fetched =====");
      console.log(
        orderResponse?.payment_source?.google_pay?.card?.authentication_result
      );
      /* CAPTURE THE ORDER*/
      const captureResponse = await fetch(`/orders/${id}/capture`, {
        method: "POST",
      }).then((res) => res.json());
      console.log(" ===== Order Capture Completed ===== ");
    });
}
...
```

## 7. Test your integration [#7-test-your-integration]

Test your Google Pay integration in the PayPal sandbox and production environments to ensure that your app works correctly.

### Sandbox [#sandbox]

Use your personal sandbox login information during checkout to complete a payment using Google Pay. Then, log into the sandbox site `sandbox.paypal.com` to see that the money has moved into your account.

1. Open your test page with a supported web browser on any supported device.
2. Add a test card to your Google Wallet on your device. Google provides test cards through their [Test card suite](https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/resources/test-card-suite).
3. Tap the **Google Pay** button to open a pop-up with the Google Pay payment sheet.
4. Make a payment using the Google Pay payment sheet.
5. If you have an additional confirmation page on your merchant website, continue to confirm the payment.
6. Log in to your merchant account and continue to your confirmation page to confirm that the money you used for payment showed up in the account.

## 8. Go live [#8-go-live]

Make Google Pay available to buyers using your website or app.

> **Note:** **Note:** Before going live, complete [production onboarding](https://www.paypal.com/bizsignup/add-product?product=payment_methods\&capabilities=GOOGLE_PAY) to process Google Pay payments with your live PayPal account.

### Live environment [#live-environment]

If you're a new partner, sign up for a [PayPal business account](https://www.paypal.com/us/business).

Use your personal production login information during checkout to complete a Google Pay transaction. Then log into **paypal.com** to see the money move out of your account.

Use the partners onboarding path to provide Google Pay to sellers on your platform. Your sellers complete the onboarding process, and PayPal automatically handles Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and other checks for you.

Partners need to do the following to complete onboarding:

* You need your API credentials and sandbox account information to integrate the PayPal Complete Payments Platform. [Get more details about onboarding a partner account](/limited-release/commerce-platform/onboard-merchants/).

## Testing in your live environment [#testing-in-your-live-environment]

When testing a purchase in production, consider:

* The business account receiving money can't also make the purchase.
* If you create a personal account with the same information as the business account, those accounts might experience restrictions.

How to test Google Pay payments in a live environment:

1. Open your test page with a supported browser.
2. Select the Google Pay button to open a pop-up with the Google Pay payment sheet.
3. Proceed with the Google Pay checkout transaction.
4. If you have an additional confirmation page on your merchant website, continue to confirm the payment.

## Troubleshoot your integration [#troubleshoot-your-integration]

Make sure that there are no browser console warnings or errors. The JavaScript SDK configuration attributes have distinct validation checks for input formatting and values.

If the validation fails, the web browser's developer console shows warning messages that say which property is incorrect and what you need to do to address the issue. The library generally attempts to revert to the safe default values if missing or incorrect inputs exist.

## Next steps & customizations [#next-steps--customizations]

Get started testing, add security to your checkout experience or create customizations for your audience.
